Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH02100600A] PURPOSE: To facilitate the control operation of a menu mode by allowing the user of a data processing unit from a menu to select a desired instruction among instructions displayed on a screen one by one line with a cursor and executing the selected instruction through the depression of an enter key. CONSTITUTION: A transmitter (s) includes an infrared ray emission diode sd to be sent to a remote control receiver (r) by using an encoded key signal as an optical remote control signal ir. The remote control receiver (r) includes a receiver (e) having an infrared ray photo diode ed and a decoder circuit dc is connected to various menu fields f1-f3 in existence in a menu field device ma. In the menu mode, the control function displayed on the menu fields f1-f3 by symbols is served to the operator for its selection. The selected menu field starts blinking or is made distinct more than other menu fields by means of other method such as tone volume change according to the cursor function.

Ein Fernbedienungssystem, insbesondere für Fernsehgeräte, weist einen Fernbedienungsempfänger (r) und einen Fernbedienungsgeber (g2) auf, die mittels einer Menu-Taste (mt) in Menu-Betrieb geschaltet sind. Dabei sind dem Fernbedienungsempfänger (r) mindestens zwei Menu-Felder (f1...) zugeordnet, die einzeln mittels des Fernbedienungsgebers (g2) ansprechbar sind. Dies kann insbesondere durch eine manuelle Ausrichtung des Fernbedienungsgebers (g2) auf das jeweils anzusprechende Menu-Feld (f4...) erfolgen.
